George,
If you stop the daemon red5 ("sudo /etc/init.d/red5 stop") and
restart from directory red5 ("sudo sh red5.sh"), you will see text
convertion run ok because JODconvert work on demand.
I try comment soffice line in red5 script, but text convertion don't
work and "HTTP 500 error" mensage display in OM interface.
Bye,
Jaime
